I had the SQ5 in for its 40K service, and I received a Q3 as a service loaner. While I appreciate the pep and overall appearance, I found it quite small and utilitarian. It seems the market is being flooded with compact SUV's, and I don't really follow them closely, but, for what a loaded out Q3 would cost, I would bet there are better options out there. My advice for anyone considering a Q3 would be, shell out the extra dough for a Q5.
